Can somebody explain me, please, what the difference is between an
__attribute__((syscall_linkage)) call and a regular one ?

The Itanium Software Conventions & Runtime Architecture Guide does
not say a word about it, does it mean it is a non standard way to
pass parameters ?

What registers need / do not need to be saved with respect to what
is written in the Intel book ?

Thanks,
